Study Notes
Bite Classification Overview
- Class I Malocclusion features proper bite alignment; upper teeth align with lower teeth, but teeth may be crooked, crowded, or turned.
- Class II Malocclusion, known as "overbite," occurs when upper teeth extend past lower teeth.
- Class III Malocclusion, referred to as "underbite," involves lower teeth protruding beyond upper teeth.
Specific Bite Characteristics
- Overbite refers to the vertical overlap of upper teeth over the lower teeth, affecting proper bite function.
- Overjet measures the horizontal distance between the upper and lower teeth, indicating how far upper teeth project beyond the lower teeth.
- Cross-bite is characterized by some upper teeth fitting inside lower teeth during a bite, potentially leading to alignment issues.
- Deep-bite describes an excessive overbite or a closed bite, where upper teeth significantly overlap lower teeth.
